Summary

Amends the School Code. Provides that school board contracts for the purchase of natural gas or electric service involving an expenditure in excess of $10,000 must be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder (now, contracts for the purchase of natural gas are exempted from the bidding requirement when the cost is less than that offered by a public utility). Amends the State Mandates Act to require implementation without reimbursement.
